The synopsis for S2E2 is very short (about 40 words).
The sources provide general series info but nothing more about S2E2.
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: I cannot invent details. If I only use the provided facts, I will only have about 40-50 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the source material only provides enough for ~40 words without violating the "no inventing" rule.
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules over the word count request if the word count cannot be met without lying. However, I can expand on the context provided in the sources (the series premise and characters) to build a professional, encyclopedic entry that contextualizes the episode, while strictly adhering to the facts.
